I made some impulse buys after getting a new scanner and picked up several batches of slides a while back from Goodwill and eBay. These pictures span from as early as the late 1940s to as late as the early 1990s. There are many thousands of these slides. I will be scanning some from time to time and posting them here mainly because I find them an interesting way to look back at the past.
I don't know a whole lot about the ultimate origins of this batch of slides other than they came from Goodwill. Like previous batches, these too often have a date stamped on them that I assume indicates when the film was developed and I believe in most cases should give approximate dating for the photograph itself. So far these seem like mostly vacation photos that were taken in the 1960s and 1970s. I've identified places in Italy, France, Mexico, and Hawaii so far.
All of the photos in this set were processed in August 1970. Based on other photos from this batch with the same date, they were all probably taken in Italy.
Both the first and the second photos show a statue from Pinocchio Park, Collodi, Tuscany, Italy. There have been quite a few photos from this park in previous sets.
It's not clear where the third photo was taken other than it seems to have been taken from an airplane shortly after takeoff or shortly before landing. I also have no idea why "coffee break" was written on it.
The last photo is the best of the set. It shows four people crowded into the back seat of a car that doesn't appear to be very big in the first place. There are two grown women and two young girls with the youngest sitting on a lap. Presumably this is on a road somewhere in Italy.

The entire collection that has been scanned and uploaded so far can also be found here. This also includes higher resolution versions and versions with post processing.
